Parts Question for the Bach Man

[Trainman203]

Any chance these will be restocked?

They are getting pretty worn out on my older engines.  I could use a goodly supply.

A different company has similar parts. I have used these on a Decapod before and they will fit with very little fussing.

Dear Train,
Call the parts department and ask them.
Thanks!

Sid;
One of the interesting facets of this hobby is the re-building 'tinkering'-as Jonathan puts it...  I have used Bachmann's parts dept. extensively, with mostly good results.
In the 'old days', there was a lot more available than now; but that is because there is less interest in actually 'getting under' a locomotive.  Sad?  Maybe; or just the normal evolution of things.
I have two 'model power A-5 (0-4-0) that I thought "less of", but Bowser just sent an E-mail with some pretty low prices for stuff.  So, now I have enough 'stuff' (parts) to reconstruct them both-with real valve gear, for openers. 
There are a few good sites upon which parts not normally found anywhere-are found!  It would be for the modeler to find them.
